Masonite elects Rick Mills to its board of directors

Rick J. Mills has been appointed a member of Masonite International's board of directors, as well as the board's Audit Committee, effective immediately.

“I am honored to join the Masonite Board and work with this exceptional team,” Mills said. “Masonite has been a leader across the door industry for decades and I look forward to sharing my experiences and contributing to the future direction and growth of the company.”

Mills, who was formerly corporate VP and president of the Components Group of Cummins, represents the Board's eighth member and will replace chairman Robert J. Byrne, who resigned from the Audit Committee.

“Rick brings a wealth of experience from his extensive involvement with a successful global manufacturing company," said Byrne. "He is a welcome addition to our Board."

Mills had a 37-year run with Cummins in various financial and operational capacities. He also serves as a director of Commercial Metals Company and Flowserve Corporation.
